Youd think that someone who put his name on a book about immigration would at least know a little bit about it. Im afraid that may not be the case, if Jeb Bushs recent comments on illegal immigration are any indication.

His act of love comment is whats gotten everyones attention, and I agree with Rameshs take on the Corner to the extent that theres some truth to what Jeb said:

Yeah, but the Democrats REALLY love illegal aliens! So you right-wing, holier-than-thou Taliban conservatives really need to get behind Jeb, BECAUSE HE'S THE ONLY person that can stop Hillary, I tell ya!

This is a calculated move on Jeb’s part to get in good graces of the media well before anyone else get a nod fromthe media for 2016. This was done deliberately to get in early on 2016 and and past the Krispy bridge gate debacle.

Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families, and they have more intact families, and they bring a younger population, he said, adding that immigrants also create new businesses and are an engine of economic prosperity.--Jeb Bush, 6/14/2013, video

Dubya rejoices as brother Jeb seizes first place in the Stupidest Bush Brother competition.

How did we ever end up with big time political hacks whose chief allegiance is to lawbreaking foreign nationals?

Do these sappy fools have no clue as to how treasonous they are? Are laws just for little people? Laws certainly don’t apply to trespassing foreign nationals when Jeb and Dubya and Obama are in charge.

What good are laws when the Bushes and their clones spend their energy trying to subvert them instead of enforcing them?

(If you do not deport it is amnesty by default.)

[Art.] And so, Jeb Bushs immigration policy in a single sentence: Any limit on immigration is an act of hate.

GO FOR THE BUSH HAT TRICK IN 2016!!! < /GOP wing of FR >

This is all about cheap labor, Jeb Bush -- hell, the whole family -- is/are a cynic(s) about this issue, they're totally committed because they know their money will keep them high and dry, well above the flood surge of practical consequences. They will not share the consequences of what they do.

I'm sorry to see Dubya taking this line, too -- he's from Texas, he knows better, and Laura knows better than that again -- she's a teacher, she knows why the statistics on the Texas education system are so bad, it's because of floods of illegals crashing the borders and putting their kids in school to be educated cost-free.

They all know better than this, and yet here is Jeb, cynically plowing the Chamber of Commerce, open-borders line.

The Wall Street Journal, 15 years ago, pounded the table about immigration in an editorial in which Their Highnesses demanded that the U.S. Constitution be amended to read, "There shall be open borders."

They backed off that crapola after 9/11 ..... but never stopped pushing the policy. Americans living hand-to-mouth is their Nirvana, their low-labor-cost paradise, and they demand it on their own sayso, from their own power, right, and perquisites as wealthy men.

Lord Acton once said, "Power corrupts." So does having too much money. You start to think you're special ..... and other people, contrariwise, fungibly and biddably unspecial. That's the GOP-E's bosses for you.

.......I think this confirms that Jeb is not running for President because I cannot think of a statement he could make that would turn the conservative base against in higher numbers than this.

Also, this “act of love” nonsense can go a thousand different directions. It’s an “act of love” for a father to hold up a 7 Eleven to feed his kids. It’s an act of love to steal money or property to feed your kids. It’s endless.
